Microsoft Security Operations Analyst (SC-200) Practice Exam 2025 – All-in-One Guide to Exam Success!

The choice indicating "Status: Active, Service sources: Microsoft Defender for Endpoint" allows for a focused view of incidents specifically tied to endpoint security breaches within Microsoft Defender XDR.

When you filter by "Status: Active," you are ensuring that only the currently relevant and actionable incidents are shown, which is critical for security operations since previous incidents may no longer require attention. The "Service sources: Microsoft Defender for Endpoint" filter narrows the results to incidents that are specifically generated from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, directly correlating with endpoint security issues.

This combination effectively targets the incidents that security analysts need to address promptly, which is vital in responding to potential breaches at the endpoint level. Such a targeted approach aids in quicker decision-making and enhances overall response efficiency in handling security threats.

In contrast, the other options either include unnecessary filters or lack the precision needed to identify incidents solely related to endpoint security breaches. For instance, adding categories or including inactive items may lead to irrelevant data and distract from prioritizing critical incidents. Thus, the simplicity and specificity of the chosen filter combination make it most effective for monitoring and responding to computer security issues linked to endpoints in an organization’s network.
